Don’t look for any Lamborghinis in the player parking lot at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, and kids, take a look at the list below before you ditch your math homework for a career in pro soccer.

The Major League Soccer Players Union has just released the 2012 salaries for every player on an MLS roster, and, given the short careers enjoyed by most professional athletes, no one outside of New York or Los Angeles is really rolling in dough.

Conor Casey, at $400,000 a year, is the only Rapids player among the league’s 25 highest paid. The bulk of the Rapids roster is paid much more like the fans in the seats than, say, a Bronco, Nugget, Rocky or Av.

The league’s highest paid player is Thierry Henry of New York at $5.6 million per year, when base salary and signing bonus are figured in, followed by his teammate Rafa Marquez at $4.6 million and David Beckham of LA Galaxy at $4 million. Only four players outside of those two cities earn seven-figure salaries, and all of them are in Toronto or Portland. (It’s unclear whether the Canadian salaries are in Canadian dollars).

The figures, as released by the union, represent only the numbers on MLS contracts, not any additional from endorsements, or side deals with clubs or owners, like Beckham’s numerous off-the-field arrangements.

And here, in alphabetical order, is what the union reported the Rapids make in salary, and pro-rated signing bonus. Who do you think is overpaid? Underpaid? Please comment below.

I’m sure every Association Footballer has (or has had) dreams of playing in the EPL. However, though the MLS is not on the same level as EPL (what league is?); it doesn’t mean that real soccer is not to be seen here.

Omar is still underpaid, though he is getting more than he did in 2009 when he popped on a blog for being one of the top 25 underpaid players in MLS. Matt is a superb keeper and certainly earning his keep (pun intended). I would say that Kosuke, Tony, and Jaime need raises as well.
